[quote=Anonymous]I conceived both of my kids with GIVF.  My kids are 9 and 12 so obviously this was a while ago.  My primary doctor was not Dr.Udoff but my first insemination did not go well.  About 6 hours after the procedure there was a lot of blood.  I called the nurse and they had me come in immediately.  Dr. Udoff did the examination.  He was very kind and reassuring.

I did AI but I had trouble ovulating.  I was monitored as an IVF patient with the daily ultrasound and blood draws.  The monitoring staff were a pleasant bunch.  I have tiny veins that roll and after a few days getting blood from me is challenging as I bruise easily and I have to be stuck multiple times.  One day the anesthesiologist was walking by and the nurse called him in to do my blood draw.  Poor man still had his coat on and coffee in hand yet he took one look at my bruises and quickly stepped in with a smile.

For my first pregnancy, I conceived twins.  At the nuchal screening, it was quickly identified that there was an issue with one of the fetus.  They did not bother with the blood draw (see above) and took me into genetic counseling.  A few hours later I had a CVS done.  I liked how seemless it was and how I didn’t have to wait for an appointment for another test.

It was at the CVS that I met the ultrasound tech.  She was amazing and wonderful and was my tech for both pregnancies.   I ended up reducing one twin.  The high risk doctor that was going to do the reduction asked GIVF to do another ultrasound in me with him present so everyone understood what was going to happen.  I liked that GIVF supported my medical needs beyond the insemination and of course my favorite ultra sound tech was there.

For both kids, they handled all of the billing with my insurance company.

Anyway, I really liked GIVF but again my experience is a decade old.  [/quote]
